They take the words Escape Mode seriously. It's not Do Your Time Mode after all.

I would like to see Rehabiliatation as a method of escape.

It's like saying, "they set themselves on fire because they took the words 'sun bathing' seriously."

Workshops and the sort are great ways of aquiring tools. You can also form gangs, so that as well renders your argument invalid. It's not a, 'Form a Gang Mode' after all.

You can access the workshop and any other rooms during work hours (iirc) even though you are not able to work. You do not need to break down the door either just wait until Work shows up in your relevant security levels regime and access the room and steal to your hearts content. Just make sure you hide the contraband before you get busted...

Actually you can wander into the Workshop any time you want. They'll take you back to your cell during Sleep and Lockdown times, but that goes for any other room too. If you're not locked down, you can go anywhere you're allowed to ever go. No need to hang out in the canteen during Eat times for instance.

BUT, the extent to which going into a Workshop matters, and the extent to which there is any point in forming a gang... is how it helps you escape. Because this really is Escape Mode. Not hang-out-in-prison mode.

Regardless, I do believe certain reputation points should be changed to skills/abilities. For example strength, through bench pressing. Also sleeping should be a thing. Even on 3x FF a night can be long. Also needs such as hunger and showering.

There is a skip sleep button...
I agree on requiring some needs so long as you don't spend more time filling needs than escaping.
Nightime is good for tunneling though if you get bored and don't want to skip.

thank you very much for all your help guys i was just wondering because in my eyes it would be pritty cool to do just to let the time go by but thanks alot guys.

It would be cool to let your guy go into AI mode...

That would totally defeat the purpose of Esacpe Mode... plus it would take a lot of programming to get right, especially with the pathing issues that exist...

OK no, it wouldn't defeat the purpose. A huge part of escaping is waiting for the right moment. And I also think it would take virtually no additional programming, it would be just like going into Follow mode on an existing prisoner, then un-following when it was time to control the prisoner again. Couldn't be easier. I don't know what pathing issues you think exist, but my AI prisoners have no pathing problems.

What if you could use your rep points for like drugs and beer? What if you could sell drugs and beer?!?!?
AND customize ur characters Gang, Face, Body, and Security! They wasted code on escape mode in my opinion.

I reiterate my historic victory here with the donce of my pipples. *rumpshaka*

its a pharse from an escape mode only take sh-iet and weapons then grab Tunnel or PUSH WITH FULL GAME SPEED with gang against staffs and riot its so lame.....
